This will give relay operators the ability of disabling the caching of
directory data. In general, this should not be necessary, but on some
lower-resource systems it may beneficial.
When a relay does not have an open directory port but it has an
orport configured and is accepting client connections then it can
now service tunnelled directory requests, too. This was already true
of relays with an dirport configured.
We also conditionally stop advertising this functionality if the
relay is nearing its bandwidth usage limit - same as how dirport
advertisement is determined.
Partial implementation of prop 237, ticket 12538
Applies the 6c443e987d fix to router_pick_directory_server_impl.
6c443e987d applied to directory servers chosen from the consensus,
and was:
"Tweak the 9969 fix a little
If we have busy nodes and excluded nodes, then don't retry with the
excluded ones enabled. Instead, wait for the busy ones to be nonbusy."
These IPv6 addresses must be quoted, because : is the port separator,
and "acce" is a valid hex block.
Add unit tests for assumed actions in IPv6 policies.
"Tor has included a feature to fetch the initial consensus from nodes
other than the authorities for a while now. We just haven't shipped a
list of alternate locations for clients to go to yet.
Reasons why we might want to ship tor with a list of additional places
where clients can find the consensus is that it makes authority
reachability and BW less important.
We want them to have been around and using their current key, address,
and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard,
and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time."
Features:
* whitelist and blacklist for an opt-in/opt-out trial.
* excludes BadExits, tor versions that aren't recommended, and low
consensus weight directory mirrors.
* reduces the weighting of Exits to avoid overloading them.
* places limits on the weight of any one fallback.
* includes an IPv6 address and orport for each FallbackDir, as
implemented in #17327. (Tor won't bootstrap using IPv6 fallbacks
until #17840 is merged.)
* generated output includes timestamps & Onionoo URL for traceability.
* unit test ensures that we successfully load all included default
fallback directories.
Closes ticket #15775. Patch by "teor".
OnionOO script by "weasel", "teor", "gsathya", and "karsten".
* The option is now KeepBindCapabilities
* We now warn if the user specifically asked for KeepBindCapabilities
and we can't deliver.
* The unit tests are willing to start.
* Fewer unused-variable warnings.
* More documentation, fewer misspellings.
router_digest_is_fallback_dir returns 1 if the digest is in the
currently loaded list of fallback directories, and 0 otherwise.
This function is for future use.
Once tor is downloading a usable consensus, any other connection
attempts are not needed.
Choose a connection to keep, favouring:
* fallback directories over authorities,
* connections initiated earlier over later connections
Close all other connections downloading a consensus.
Prop210: Add attempt-based connection schedules
Existing tor schedules increment the schedule position on failure,
then retry the connection after the scheduled time.
To make multiple simultaneous connections, we need to increment the
schedule position when making each attempt, then retry a (potentially
simultaneous) connection after the scheduled time.
(Also change find_dl_schedule_and_len to find_dl_schedule, as it no
longer takes or returns len.)
Prop210: Add multiple simultaneous consensus downloads for clients
Make connections on TestingClientBootstrapConsensus*DownloadSchedule,
incrementing the schedule each time the client attempts to connect.
Check if the number of downloads is less than
TestingClientBootstrapConsensusMaxInProgressTries before trying any
more connections.
UseDefaultFallbackDirs enables any hard-coded fallback
directory mirrors. Default is 1, set it to 0 to disable fallbacks.
Implements ticket 17576.
Patch by "teor".
On FreeBSD backtrace(3) uses size_t instead of int (as glibc does). This
causes integer precision loss errors when we used int to store its
results.
The issue is fixed by using size_t to store the results of backtrace(3).
The manual page of glibc does not mention that backtrace(3) returns
negative values. Therefore, no unsigned integer wrapping occurs when its
result is stored in an unsigned data type.
